says:
The Importance Of this office, its functions,

OF the announcement that Messrs. Fitzpa-
trick, Mealey Davey and Duffy had announc-
ed themselves for Nichols, the Lafayette Ad-
vertiser says:
This is one OF the most wonderful unions
that has ever been effected anywhere in the
country. The high priests of corruption on
one side and those of immaculate purity and
honesty in office ON the other ! What union !
The lion and the lamb story can now be re-
tired-but il the Reformers conceive that
their new found friends are also going to re-
tire from office, they will be most wofully
disappointed.
The Tensas Gazette treats the same subject
as follows
The campaign cry of Nichols aud Reform"
must necessarily be modified into something
like Nichols, Fitzpatrick, Duffy, Davey, Mea-
ley g. Co. and Reform. A formidable array
of names, and one that ought to, even if it
does not, fill with CONSERVATION the ranks
I of those hardened sinners, the administra-
tionists. -
t This combination is about as brilliant a pO-
Iitical move as could have been expected from

are so uniformity conspicuous and damaging

Co-oPERATIoN-The history of cooperation
in England has been aud is repeating itself in
the United States, by partial success and total
failures in various localities FOR a -aek OF a
proper understanding and concert of action.
In Texas, some ten years ago, certain class
awoke to the necessity of cooperation on
some basis, and their first effort was to or
ganize in localities and make arrangements
with some merchant to furnish their consoii-
dated trade with discounts from selling price
or acertan percentage on cost. This, after
due and patient trial, proved o failure. Then
the Rochdaie plan of distributive co-opera-
tion with its successes commended itself to
the thoughtful, and in 1875 the first store OF
this kind in Texas was organized in Bell
county, and shortly after Others sprang into
existence, and now there about one
hundred and City local stores in the
state with general distributing whole
sale house at Galveston, Texas, carry
ing in stock and buying direct
from manufacturers groceries, dry goods, no.
tions, boots, shoes, hats and clothing, thus
placing the local stores in direct communica-
tion with the manufacturers. and in this way
placing the consumer at the door OF the man.
nfaeturer; and SO far there has not been a
single failure where cash down has been the
principle.--J. S. Rogers in Dallas Mercury

A correspondent of tue Lake Charles Echo,
at Jennings, writes to that paper as follows:
believe majority of the voters OF this
parish favor the nomination of Gov. McEnery
for reelection The belief is based
on the fact that they realize that
the present prosperity is due in a great
measure to his administration of the State gov
ernment. They know the capital flowing into
the State would seek other fields for invest
ment il the State was on the verge Of ruin
through the rascality of the present governor,
and doomed to utter destruction in case Of
his reelection, as some Of the Nichols sup
pcrters would have people believe. They
know the financial copslision of the State, it's
bonds being nearly at par, is due to McEnery's .
administration of the State governments, and
they believe that many who are deriding Nc,
Emery and IaudiDg Gen. Nichols are actnated
by selfish motives, and will, in the event OF
his tNicholls1 election, wage as relentless a
war against him as they are now Waglng
against McEnery in case of his refusal to
turn the political grindstone that they may
grind their axes.

A Good SUGGESTION.

EDITORS Without interfering
with matters of more Importance, my l
presume to trespass upon your columns
for space sufficient to call attention to a
want that is growing upon us, more
rapidly perhaps than the majority of
residents may be aware of. viz: Our &C.
commodations for the immense transient
population that will come in upon us
very soon now, and with the hotel room
we now possess what are we going to
do? Allow them to 60 to Pasadena,
San Bernardino and other outside towns,
or will some of our monied men put
their forces at work and Immediately
build accommodations for 20, 600 people?
This is a fair approximation, at least
not an excessive one, as many real
estate men can testify. With the i'm.
mense call upon US daily for houses aud
rooms, it requires no stretch of the i'm
agination to convince those in position
to known that we must have, and that
very sooa, q greater amount of houses
and rooms. Will some of our capital.
its come to the front Immediately and
either form syndicate or individually
60 to work and supply either 500.room
hotel or 100 good tenements, or both?
1 hope this will attract the attention of
those able and willing to do for our city
that which she so much needs-more
houses, more hotels, and now before the
tide of immigration sets in. This is the
sentiment of many. R. E.

John Holster was examined and &C.
quilted by Justice Austin, yesterday, on
charge Of grand larceny professed by
Robert Stewart, who charged Holster
with having stolen his tent and its furn.
ishings. 1t appeared that the trouble
arose from contest between the two
men as to the possession of piece of
Government land in Marengo Canon.
Stewart stated that he erected tent on
this land, and left it when he visited the
city fortnight ago. While he was
gone some one took away the tent, and
when he returned he found Holster in
possession of the land in shanty of his
own. Holster stated that he took the
tent off the land and laid it In the road.
Both parties claim the land, and Justice
Austin decided that there was not
enough evidence to sustain the charge.

AT Variance.

The case of James Madden, charged
with assault TO murder Jean Lenert,
came up for trial yesterday before Judge
O'Melveny and after the jury had been
selected it was ascertained that the in
formation was at variance with the SEN
tence and the charge was dismissed. 1t
appeared upon examination of the infor-
nation the title was assault with a
deadly weapon" while the body of the
paper charged him with assault with
intent to murder" This variance was
not considered, however, hut when
Lonert was placed on the stand he swore
that the instrument used was long
knife, whereas the information said it
was pistol. On this ground the charge
was dismissed, but Madden was rear.
rested and charged with assault to muir
der before Justice fancy, who fixed the
bail at $1,000.

Chinatown Fired I'm Three
Places.

Chinatown Fired i'm Three
Places.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday
morning the residents of the Chinese
quarter were aroused from their SUM
bers by an explosion. followed by the
bursting out of fire, at the rear of No.
l6 Niger alley. Not only did the fire
start in one place, but in three places,
and from appearances all three of the
places had been set on fire. The largest
blaze was in the rear of No. Is, where
behind fence was small shed, in
which was kept covered buggy. In
the inner corner of this can of coal oil
had been placed and evidently lighted
by means of slow match. The Sec
ond place where the fire caught
was between two buildings, Nos.
Is and 20, of the same street.
In this crack coal oil had
been poured and ignited. The third
place was in the rear of No. is where a
small blaze had been kindled next to a
dry wood shanty. The first blaze burn.
ed up the shed and two vehicles, but
the other two oLly scorched the build.
ing before being extinguished. The
prompt arrival of the fire department
upon the scene after the alarm was
given, prevented the flames from gaining
much Roadway. 1t was stated by some
of the Cinnamon that white man had
been seen to run away from that vicinity
before the fire broke out but no one
could be found who had actually seen
the man. There was no doubt, however,
but the fires were incendiary for all the
places where the fires broke out were in
such positions that they would not have
caught at that hour of the day without
having been set afre.
